When Trinitarians cite Hebrews 1:5-8 to argue that Jesus did not receive life from God, they often omit the full context of the passage. First, they typically do not mention that Hebrews 1:8,9 directly quotes Psalm 45:6,7, originally referring to a human king. This implies that Bible...

Were you aware of how the Jews in the second century B.C. translated the verses of Isaiah 9:6-7 from Hebrew into Greek? (LXX) Is. 9: 6 Because a child was born to us; a son was given to us whose leadership came upon his shoulder; and his name is called “Messenger [Angel] of the Great Council,”...

Interesting! A prophecy about the Son been called "Mighty God" in the future (of Isaiah's life)! Throughout the Universe, the Almighty has eternally been acknowledged as God, and this will continue indefinitely, without any requirement for a prophecy predicting someone's praise. Psa. 90:2...

Have you noticed that the virulent attack on Paul has become a trend on the biblical analysis networks? From my point of view, it is a maneuver by the enemies of the Scriptures that seems to be affecting many Christians. Some anti-Christians masquerading as biblical scholars are dedicating...

When James and John, speaking through their mother, requested Jesus to grant them special places in heaven, he responded to them with these words: Matt. 20:23 (...) to sit down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my...

No Christian who does not consider Jesus equal to his Father and God (as it should be) believes that Jesus is "only a man". Jesus was made by God "Lord and Christ." Peter told the Jews: Acts 2:36 Therefore, let all the house of Israel know for a certainty that God made him both Lord and...

Following his resurrection, Jesus directed his disciples to spread the message of the Kingdom to everyone, helping others to be Christians to be saved, baptizing them and teaching them the same things that they had learned. Matt. 28:19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the...

No, Paul was not like that. Paul discusses a priesthood "not in the manner of Aaron," suggesting that the individual mentioned might have been another person outside of that lineage, not levitical (which didn't exist at that time), like Heb. 7 explains. Paul clearly knew that although the...

We can see the God of Jesus during his baptism by John. At that significant moment, Jehovah endowed Jesus with the holy spirit from above. According to the Bible, it appeared as though a dove descended from heaven to rest upon Jesus: Matt. 3:16 After being baptized, Jesus immediately came up...

God's killing machine ... Wait! What? hlf I meant Satan's killing machine. God is caring for people while the other one is trying to accuse Christians. Rev. 12:10 I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the Kingdom of our God and the authority...

Same as yours: Jesus was elevated to a higher position after his resurrection, when he was exalted in heavens, firstly when he received the holy spirit from God and sent it to his followers: Acts 2:33 Therefore, because he was exalted to the right hand of God and received the promised holy...

Not only Isaiah 53:11 but also here: Isaiah 42:1 Look! My servant, whom I support! My chosen one, whom I have approved! I have put my spirit in him; He will bring justice to the nations. Isaiah 52:13 Look! My servant will act with insight. He will be raised up high, He will be elevated and...

Did you know that in the Christian Scriptures it is said that Jesus is a servant of God? Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified his Servant, Jesus, whom you handed over and disowned before Pilate, even though he had decided to release...

:rolleyes: Where is the fruit of the holy spirit in that forum member? James 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him by his fine conduct demonstrate works performed with a mildness that comes from wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter jealousy and contentiousness in your hearts, do...

:rolleyes: Why do some forum members remind me of the Pharisees persecuting and trying to damage the public image of Christians?

I'm not particularly concerned with your viewpoint; it's completely insignificant, mainly because you tend to focus on dismissing forum members rather than addressing the posts you reference. I'm curious why so many pointless comments are permitted on this forum, which merely aim to undermine...

The Bible mentions being "born again" only in the dialogue between Jesus and Nicodemus. Jesus clarifies the necessity of being "born of water" and "born of the spirit," suggesting that those who haven't undergone water baptism cannot receive the holy spirit. Though there were a few rare...

When John mentioned the group of anointed ones whom Jesus selected to reign with him in heaven, he said: Rev. 1:5 (...) Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness,” “the firstborn from the dead,” and “the Ruler of the kings of the earth.” To him who loves us and who set us free from our sins by means...

Jesus' apostles had heard him say several times that he was going to a place where they could not follow him at that time. However, he told them not to be sad about it, because the person he was going to meet, his Father and God (John 20:17), had more power than they saw in him: John 14:28 You...

So, what is your answer to the question: When was Jesus elevated to "a higher position": in heaven before his earthly birth, during his life on Earth, or following his resurrection?
